Cannot agree with art and science being the same! Three main reasons:
1You do not necessarily need any educating or training in the subject
to enjoy, or even perform, art. Singers are born with a gift, just
like ball-players. so are those who can draw. Sure most of us can
do a bit with tuition and training.
2 People in arts and science can discuss arts with equal intellect and
knowledge. Arts people cannot discuss science without specialist
knowledge (and, probably, training)
3 Science is like an ever expanding pyramid. It is all built on
knowledge that has been established before (and that really means
established, not guessed or opined). The essence of science is to try
and disprove a hypothesis or theory. Art is like it or not.
Two different things - reality and abstract, fact and figmentation
There speaks a self-opinionated scientist (I hope!)
ps, I like art.
pps I love science
